Animation City – Community Workshops

Animation City is nurturing new animation artists throughout the City of Toronto.

Toronto is an ANIMATION CITY

The Toronto Animated Image Society’s Animation City program brings animated art and story making to your community group or classroom in the GTA and beyond. Our workshops offer a fun and unique way to learn and incorporate skills from the visual and media arts, as well as craft.

Workshops

Animation City is a resourceful addition to the classroom – our workshops are linked with school curriculum, and integrate skills in digital and media literacy, critical thinking, storytelling, visual arts and technology. We provide all equipment, materials, and instruction for our workshops.

Our workshops come in different animation styles, and for groups ranging from 10 to 100 participants, or more!
